1209 Burdensome stone. Pierced One ZECHARIAH 12:1–13:2
12 A pronouncement:
CHAP. 12
“The word of Jehovah concerning
Israel,” is the utterance
of Jehovah, the One who
is stretching out the heavens a
and laying the foundation of the
earth b and forming the spirit c of
man inside him. 2 “Here I am
making Jerusalem d abowlcausing
reeling to all the peoples
round about; e and also against
Judah he will come to be in
the siege, even against Jerusalem.
f 3 And it must occur in
that day g that I shall make Jerusalem
a burdensome stone h to
all the peoples. All those lifting
it will without fail get severe
scratches for themselves;
and against her all the nations
of the earth will certainly
be gathered. i 4 In that day,” j is
the utterance of Jehovah, “I shall
strike every horse k with bewilderment
and its rider with madness;
l and upon the house of Judah
I shall open my eyes, m and
every horse of the peoples I shall
strike with loss of sight. 5 And
the sheiks n of Judah will have to
say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants
of Jerusalem are a strength
to me by Jehovah of armies their
God.’ o 6 In that day I shall
make the sheiks of Judah like a
firepot among trees p and like a
fiery torch in a row of newly cut
grain, q and they must devour on
the right hand and on the left
all the peoples round about; r and
Jerusalem must yet be inhabited
in her own place, in Jerusalem. s
7 “And Jehovah will certainly
save the tents of Judah first,
to the end that the beauty of
the house of David and the beauty
of the inhabitants of Jerusalem
may not become too great

over Judah. 8 In that day Jehovah
will be a defense around the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; t and
the one that is stumbling among
them must become in that day
like David, u and the house of David
like God, a like Jehovah’s angel
before them. b 9 And it
must occur in that day that I
shall seek to annihilate all the
nations that are coming against
Jerusalem. c
10 “And I will pour out upon
the house of David and upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem
the spirit of favor d and entreaties,
e and they will certainly look
to the One whom they pierced f
through, and they will certainly
wail over Him as in the wailing
over an only son; and there
will be a bitter lamentation over
him as when there is bitter lamentation
over the firstborn son. g
11 In that day the wailing in
Jerusalem will be great, like
the wailing of Ha·dad·rimmon
in the valley plain of Me·giddo. h
12 And the land will certainly
wail, i each family by itself; the
family of the house of David by
itself, and their women by themselves;
j the family of the house of
Nathan k by itself, and their women
by themselves; 13 the family
of the house of Levi l by itself,
and their women by themselves;
the family of the Shime·ites m by
itself, and their women by themselves;
14 all the families that
are left remaining, each family
by itself, and their women by
themselves. n
13 “In that dayo there will
come to be a well p opened
to the house of David and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin q
and for an abhorrent thing. r
2 “And it must occur in that
day,” is the utterance of Jehovah
of armies, “that I shall cut
off the names of the idols out of
the land, s and they will no
more be remembered; and also
